Well I did it. Today I went to my first weight watchers meeting. I have struggled with my weight my whole life but always said as long as I stay below --- I am happy with me. Recently I have become acutely aware of the fact that losing weight may help my health and well being where I know NOONE I could meet some people, plus a recent trip to the docs showed that I was far too close to ---. So here I am and I went. I hope to lose 55 lbs. But I am willing to settle for less I am just not sure how much less. We shall see.
